Once the HD infrastructure was in place, ABS created the new master control for KHSL and KNVN, and its three multicast channels. The space formally used by news production was then used to assemble new racks and equipment. ![]() Rather than traditional studio cameras, ABS installed five Panasonic AW-HE120 robotic PTZ HD cameras, each with a custom 13-inch LCD prompter system mounted on top that maintains the eye line of the news anchors.ĭuring the project, ABS personnel utilized a vacant space on the second floor of the facility to relocate the analog news production. Roberts said the new cameras were particularly effective shooting low-light footage, which was beneficial at the site of a local April 10 accident between a FedEx truck and school bus that gained national attention. Part of KHSL’s new tapeless workflow, the cameras record HD footage to SDHC or SXHC media cards. All newsroom edit systems were also upgraded to Adobe Premiere CS6 and are connected to an 18 TB SAN system.įor field production, ABS replaced an aging group of tape-based camcorders with eight JVC GY-HM600 ProHD handheld camcorders with built-in 23x Fujinon lenses. ![]() Other master control upgrades include Harmonic Omneon video servers controlled through NVerizon automation.īuilt around a Ross Carbonite production switcher, the new production control room features a Miranda Kaleido multi-viewer, Panasonic LCD monitors, Ross XPression CG, BlackStorm playout server, Yamaha LS9 audio board, Clear-Com intercom system and custom furniture from Martin & Ziegler.

The new HD-SDI infrastructure includes embedded audio, which significantly reduced cable runs. The facility had layers of cables that could not be organized or removed until after the new infrastructure was operational.ĪBS completed the project in November 2013, and the facility began using its native HD system in January. Aaron “Mike” Roberts, director of engineering, said the ABS project provided a technological fresh start for the facility, which had previously transitioned from analog to digital SD, then to an HD/SD hybrid infrastructure. Owned by GOCOM Media of Northern California, KHSL shares operations with KNVN, the local NBC affiliate owned by K4 Media, as part of a joint facility arrangement. #CONNECT AUDIO BOARD TO ROSS CARBONITE PLUS#The native HD upgrade included new master control and production control rooms, plus new studio and ENG cameras, NLE systems, and the adoption of a tapeless workflow.
